Why I think that anybody who posts to a newsgroup should be REQUIRED to read
those newsgroups regardless of their circumstances.  Even if s/he doesn't have
the time or inclination to read the group.  Even if s/he doesn't have any-
thing to add, generally, posters MUST READ.  Seig heil!!

     Seriously, I'd recommend to Alan that he doesn't get his underwear
in a bundle.  I have NO problem (whatsoever) with someone asking for
help via mail.  I don't read some newsgroups, but if I have a question in
that area, I'll post to them and let them know to reply to my account.
If a person did this over and over and over.... that's a different matter,
but not relevant to what's going down here.
